Thanks a lot for your patience folks ! rest assured, development on this app will continue from now on :) came back a few days ago from overseas, been struggling with a bad fever since I came but I'm doing much better now :) I read all the posts that I missed during my absence. Thank you all for participating in giving ideas, reporting problems.. etc.. you guys are awesome

Now lets reply the stuff that were left unanswered. (If I missed anybody's post, please write it again here.. its a little hard getting everything missed answered in one single post. lol)

I can't seem to replicate this issue here. anybody else having the same problem ? it could be some other background app that causes this strange behavior.

I was pretty sure I added that bit of code that took care of it in 4.0.6b. I think the "workaround" code that was found doesn't work with Gingerbread ? I'll have another look at that and see what I can do.

You're absolutely right. NoLED "monitors" the calendar provider URI for changes. This could very well be what causes lags when your 3rd party app tries to sync. I'd suggest disabling Calendar all together for now, this will unload the calendar "monitor" in NoLED. This shouldn't be a problem in the future when I finally manage to migrate all notifications to use the Accessibility APIs instead.

Thanks for taking the time to write this great post. A delay to display notifications after receiving the missed event seems reasonable, I'll add that to the TODO list but it'll have to wait for now given that I'll focus on fixing the broken "All other" toggle. The other suggestion is a little trickier to implement, so I'm not sure I can incorporate that into NoLED :( I'll need to set time intervals to "check" the status bar for pending notifications, and will need to add many use-cases which I'd rather avoid for the sake of keeping the app small and simple.

Which phone are you using ? Seems the "keep screen on" lock is not working properly. When you turn your screen on, what do you see (the bouncing icons, or the lock screen) ?

You're the first one to report a problem with touching the screen. Did you leave the option "turn off touch drivers" checked or unchecked ? I'd suggest reinstalling the app to see if this fixes the problem.

As for the first point, look at my reply above :)
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Seems the Nexus S showing the backlights is a bug exclusive to the Nexus S :mad:

[Android Apps and Games] intel9014:
Thanks for your answer raymondpjr! It is clear that black parts do not consume energy, since this is a feature of amoled. What i wanted to report, is that black parts on the noled notification screen are not black on my phone. They look like very slightly backlit.

My phone: gt i9000, samsung stock 2.2 os, voodoo kernel, stock lock screen.

Any thoughts?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
All right guys, a new beta is out. get it from the OP and let me know what you think. Changes are posted in the change log

That's what we initially thought as well. Turns out that our pixels do turn on when displaying black. You can see the same slightly-illuminated background if you display a black picture using Gallery.
[Android Apps and Games] lpasq:
...nice. i can now answer phone when noled notification is pending on nexus s running cm7a3 (aka cm7a2 Jan6). until now, when call woke device and a noled notification was live on screen, no way to answer call and it was forced to ring through to voicemail. also have 'miscellaneous' 'disable touch screen' de-selected since this was the recommendation when first reporting the issue. fyi, 'disable touch screen' de-selected did not solve issue prior to beta and i've not tried to replicate the bug by selecting disable touch screen' since i'm digging the goodness of functional noled. not sure if it is the new noled beta or cm that has all good for now.

noled settings: other than toggle sms/mms, missed calls, calendar, voice mail... also toggle 'all other' and selected 'monitored apps' only email so i get notified of exchange corporate server email.

these setting should mean that 'all other' notifications is limited to just email...correct?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
correct :)
[Android Apps and Games] fchipm:
Thanks so much for keeping the app alive. So glad I can answer the phone now with noled running.

It doesn't seem nexus s buttons are turning off still. Was this supposed to be addressed with the new beta or still a work in progress?

Thanks again for all your hard work.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
a work in progress. it seems the nexus s has a bug where the backlights stay on even after setting them to turn off explicitly. see the google code bug that I linked a couple of posts earlier.

if anybody is able to switch the nexus s' lights programatically, please let me know. even if by writing to a driver file explicitly as is the case with most devices.

I'll continue searching for a workaround.. but given that I don't have that device with me, I can't test things on my own .. only way for me to solve this is to use other people's solutions if they even exist at this point.
[Android Apps and Games] fchipm:
Gotcha. Glad its being looked into and if it can't be done ill still love the app to death.

sms popup

Dear Dev:

The 6-second SMS/MMS notification delay plays nice with SMS Popup. The notification screen does not compete with the popup and there is time for the popup to appear first, and then be overridden by the NoLED sms/mms notification.

If ever considering any additional work on the settings that enable "Delay SMS", maybe allow selectable delay time options in addition to 6-seconds. Using SMS Popup as an example...the screen timeout options for SMS Popup timeout are 10sec, 20sec, 30sec, 1min, 2min, 5min, 10min. The ability to sync NoLED's "Delay SMS" with the popup timeout would be ideal.

I'm aware you have written that you are no longer modding for compatibility with sms popup/notification/reply programs but wanted to at least thank you for getting the 6-second SMS/MMS notification delay working so I don't have to disable SMS Popup's quick reply notification popup in order to enjoy NoLED sms/mms notifications too.

Regards

Black out indicators.

I was about to ask if it was possible to have only the time show without the coloured squares showing, but then I realized I can just change all the notification colours to black.

Just thought I'd share if it is useful to anyone.

Great app by the way, definitely fills a hole Samsung unbelievably made.

[Android Apps and Games] aritafari:
Madmack,

Apart from addressing the particular issue the requester suggested (time to respond to alert before NoLED kicks in), wouldn't implementing this also take care of SMS Popup issues in Handcent, Tasker, etc.
[Android Apps and Games] pceasar:
Thanks Madmack

@Madmack, Thanks for the email advising me about the beta, I hope we get to choose the icons used for monitored application such as ping chat and whatsapp etc. I'll report back if I get any errors on my Dell streak during the beta test.
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
NoLed

Like Madmack says, they are on but as they are rendering black, that uses very little power. Negligible. Nothing to worry about.:D
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
NoLed

When I installed the last update, the one that introduced the time notification, I lost the 'ping' sound again. If I was listening to music, it would be interrupted every 13 seconds, which is what I had it set too. But if I wasn't using the phone, I just got the icons and no ding. Went through all the settings multiple times. Anyway since there is a new beta, I'll install that and let you know what happens.:D
[Android Apps and Games] Vampiro2000:
Installed latest beta in my SGS and all I got is a black screen when i try to config the app. Previous version works fine. Allready unstalled old version and still the same....
[Android Apps and Games] cearini:
Hello,

first of all thanks for your Work.

I have installed the new beta versione ( 4.0.7b ) on my nexus S but it doesn't seem to work. Immediatly crash after reboot or installing the widget. Previous version instead correctly work for me.

Thanks,

David
[Android Apps and Games] jonc:
In case it's useful to anyone else, here's what I've done with the latest version of NoLED and Tasker so that I get an SMS Popup, followed by a NoLED notification. It's a hack, using Tasker and the 'Other' notification to now mean 'SMS'.

Disable the SMS/MMS NoLED notification, and instead enable the 'Other' notification for tasker only. Then create a tasker profile which triggers on receiving an SMS. Set the profile actions to wait (slightly longer than your popup keeps the screen on for), then trigger a notification. Then wait for 10 seconds and dismiss the notification.

This means that on receiving a text message I get the popup as normal, the screen goes off as normal, and then a tiny bit later NoLED triggers and I get the SMS notifcation.

I also renamed the appropriate png files in my NoLED theme so the SMS one is now the 'other' one, and is therefore the one triggered by the tasker notification.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I've pinpointed the crash reason. Try to tick anything in "monitored apps" under "Toggle notifications" to take care of that error temporarily. I've already patched it up and will release a new beta soon.

The app now stalls when you open it because it attempts to load a list of all your installed applications at that time. I guess I can create a "Please wait" dialog, or better yet.. make that application list fetching happen in another thread. working on it. For now though, if you wait long enough, the app should become responsive again.

Yes it should. because it'll delay all notifications. I'm kind of not too excited about that feature because I use gtalk to chat and having a delay would kill my chat thread :( but it seems like a lot of you folks will find good use in that feature, so it'll be done :)
[Android Apps and Games] ash969:
I have installed version 4.0.4, 4.0.6. It worked, but after a couple of hours, the program loses all settings, and returns to default.

I have froyo 2.2.1, and using a galaxy s.
[Android Apps and Games] cearini:
I have selected one the application and now it work!! Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
4.0.8b is out. Made more major changes to the app. Theoretically, you can now disable all toggles and get notified only through "Monitored apps" if you chose all the apps you want to get notified about from there.

Get the new beta at OP. Read change log for more info on what I added.
[Android Apps and Games] jonc:
Quick question about the new beta.... Does the fact that the application icon is used for the notification mean that you can no longer set it yourself? And is it specifically the application icon that's used or the icon associated with the notification?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
For "All other", that is correct. However, all other built-in notifications are still intact and are themeable.

its the applications' icons. So for example, if you have Tapatalk installed, and Tapatalk decides to notify you and you have that marked in "Monitored Apps", then you'll see Tapatalk's default orange icon bouncing around the screen.
[Android Apps and Games] jonc:
Good to know, although I think I'll hold off on the beta for the moment then. My config having an SMS popup followed by an 'Other' notification would be scuppered by the fact that it would inherit the tasker icon (rather than a nice envelope).

I suspect a nice 'Choose notifications and assign icons' will take a little while to create :-)

Would it be possible to add a customisable SMS/MMS delay easily?

I find that even with the Handcent delay on, often NoLED will activate before my popups, causing a permanent SMS notification (and I'd like to the keep the popups so I don't have to dismiss NOLED, unlock, drag down, click and then read my SMSs).
[Android Apps and Games] aritafari:
I think gtalk should work for you as intended, you shouldn't have to sacrifice that.

I was thinking that, in line with other functions, you would make it optional and customizable. i.e. delay 10secs, 30secs, 60secs, etc
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
the delay feature they're requesting is a delay for all notifications. this will affect gtalk and all other notifications as well.

but yea, i'll add options of 10, 30, 60sec up to 10mins. this delay won't be for SMS only, but for all of em.

feedback for the new beta is appreciated guys, if you have downloaded and tested that already, let me know if u notice any quirks.
[Android Apps and Games] Vampiro2000:
Other apps notification doesn't seem to work... No notification for Calendar Snooze, Facebook and Android market updates.... Neighter audio reminder notifications... (SGS)
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
did you check these apps in "Monitored apps" ? once you do that, please disable/enable NoLED from the widget and try again.
[Android Apps and Games] Vampiro2000:
Already did that... And the option for audio notification doesn't work either. Select use audio with 10 secs interval but no audio reminder. The default sound selected is bubbles as you recomended...
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
"Bubbles" is no longer a requirement as NoLED relies on your status bar in these new versions.

Did you give NoLED Accessibility rights from Android settings menu ? If you don't know what that is, simply uncheck, and recheck "All other" under Toggle Notifications and it should direct you to that window. Having both this, and Monitored Apps checked should really make your notifications work. tested it here with more than one app and they all worked.

side question, are you using any custom theme ? this could cause some trouble too. just make sure you have "Medium" or "Big" selected under Themes.
[Android Apps and Games] Vampiro2000:
Gave acessibility rights and i'm not using any costum theme or rom. Using Stock Froyo
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
hmm..

Can you do the following:

Uncheck all email accounts tracked by NoLED under Toggle Notifications > Emails. Then go under "Monitored Apps" and select "Gmail". Then back out to the home screen, and disable/enable the widget. Send an email to yourself and see if you get the gmail icon.

I can't seem to replicate the problem you're having
[Android Apps and Games] Vampiro2000:
Ok, it only works with default medium or big icons. No costum icons. Audio reminder.still doesnt work...

It were best if we can use costum icons...
[Android Apps and Games] Nelimungous:
I wait for Monitored Apps apps to highlight then try to select it to get into the list and get a force close. Captivate. Maybe I missed a hint in the thread somewhere. v: 4.0.8b
[Android Apps and Games] evilhunter101:
This keeps happening to me too with my Fascinate. Not getting the option to send a crash report either.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
This is strange, could be a heap size problem ? how many apps do you guys have installed ? maybe the list is becoming too large ?

If you guys know how to keep a logcat session open, please do so and copy/paste the exact error for us over here.

I've fixed this problem already on my local copy. Will put that up on the next beta. it'll basically be "medium" if a custom theme is chosen. I also implemented a "Delay All notifications" feature as per requests.. you guys will need to test that a bit though because its a little tricky to implement that one. (need to keep track of pending alerts, etc..)

Edit: v4.0.10b is out on the OP. I've added that fix of custom icons and added a "delay all" option under "Misc".
[Android Apps and Games] fchipm:
So will the delay all feature in the new beta allow an SMS pop-up remain on screen after noled has been dismissed and the screen unlocked? If so I'm not sure how to figure that out.
[Android Apps and Games] dynamics_blue:
P.S. sort of like what the Nokia Phones have.. it displays missed calls etc.. notifications while in "sleepmode" I think they called it a "2nd screen overlay"
[Android Apps and Games] Sarae878:
Hi All,

I have the vibrant and installed and works fine when i get a text and the sound is on, but cant get it work on vibrate or silent...i read the sounds notifications have to be in a certain file but how do i do that?

Thanks!

Update: now i can only get it work sometimes on vibrate and silent
[Android Apps and Games] Ogmodon:
Got it working and isolated the problem.

The problem for me was that the worlds greatest app at this moment was screwing with the second greatest app.

I have the app no lock installed and when it is set to locking disabled the the led notification app will not work.......unless it is from an e-mail. Text and missed phone calls do not trigger the NoLEd app.

Once phone locking is turned back on then I was able to get the red led to work, in silent mode, vibrate and normal volume mode. I tested this from sending emails from my computer, as well as calling and texting from a secondary phone.

The home button to unlock it is still giving me problems, especially when I forget and hit the power button on the side first.
[Android Apps and Games] babygyrl2186:
Try to install but says it does not support my phone I have the Samsung vibrant...
[Android Apps and Games] Hennesssy:
Is it possible that the phone doesn't support it?
[Android Apps and Games] Ogmodon:
Hello,

You need to down load it to a pc or mac and then transfer it across to the phone. I then used an app called app installer and it worked fine.

Once you have it installed you need to lock your phone once and then unlock it. the program will not work if you have the app no lock installed and set to lock disabled.
[Android Apps and Games] gTen:
Has no one done an energy test yet with the app on blinking and off?

Example:

At 100%

2-3 hours with screen off

then

2-3 hours with it the red led on
[Android Apps and Games] NeilQ:
Is noLED in android market?

I'm new (2 days!) to android, and smart phones in general.

I'd love to download your noLED ap - what is its name in the Android market?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] tokyogtr:
having some problems with NoLED

On my Galaxy S it's working fine BUT if I don't press the black button within a few minutes of getting the red dot, the phone "hangs". It will not unlock. Almost like the screen suddenly gets disabled and does not react to swiping etc. I have to press and hold the power button and restart the phone. Seems quite easy to reproduce too.
[Android Apps and Games] Ms.Dummbunny:
After the Install....

After i install to my Samsung Vibant the "Open" button is greyed out and all i can select is "Done". Its showing under "Manage Applications" as an installed program, but even after i call myself, don't reject the call (just let it go to it stops ringing) and the phone times out and screen turns black on its own, no "red light"...

And this is prolly a moot point since i can't get it to work, but anything in the works to be able to pick the color? A nice indigo blue or lavender would be my choice. I'd even pay :)

OMG a lil square red light just lit up...

(I did something right!!)

thank you!

Oh nooooooooo!! The light worked, but when i hit the power button to wake it, the screen stays black and nothing would get my screen to come on. I finally was able to power it off and i tried it again, but same thing happened. Little red sqaure comes on, power button on side only brings up the option to "silence, airplane mode, power off"....

Am i doing something wrong?

Dummm

Battery drain problem

I haven't seen anyone else mention this but I'm having issues with NoLED consuming battery. I installed it on my Captivate this morning with a fresh charge and left it sitting idle for about 3 hours. When I checked back on it, I saw the notification blinking and found my battery depleted to 76%. When I checked use, it was over 90% display with time in use of 2.5 hours. Actual use by me was less than 5 minutes, so that was all from the notification. Checking JuicePlotter confirmed that the battery was used heavily for the latter 2.5 hours, immediately after I received an email.

Not sure if this is relevant, but I have lock enabled.
[Android Apps and Games] cody_04l:
Is it just me or does anyone else have problems entering the pattern lock after pressing the home button? Most of the time the screen will not recognize me entering my pattern. I have to press the lock button two or three times before I can unlock it.
[Android Apps and Games] rav4moi:
Vibrant

No luck with the Vibrant here. Tried uninstalling NoLock, disabling the Puzzle notification, rebooted, etc. I don't get a red dot for missed calls (with or without a msg left).
[Android Apps and Games] justmevagyok:
works fine

Hello,

Excellent work. It works fine on my Samsung Galaxy S. (XWJM2 - rooted)
[Android Apps and Games] SLX69:
Wonderful! Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Avataar120:
Hi, I tried your SW and it's great !!

But in the deep dark, I can see that all the screen is ON (very few light on all the surface, but light ...)

Does someone perform some battery duration tests ?

Thanks for your job !
[Android Apps and Games] tlr115:
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.
[Android Apps and Games] gTen:
Can you give the numbers for the other things like CPU and etc?

Also what is the % accuracy? aka from what I remember it does estimation..not exact numbers...so it may be assuming it is the screen just because the screen happens to be on..

Cause if anything is draining battery life..it is probably the CPU not idling..

No luck using 4.0.4 on Nexus S (2.3.1)

- Backlight on keys is still lit the whole time

- Will not allow SMS Pop up work properly (regardless of what delay configuration is used)

- Will not allow Widget Locker to work as default locker

Thanks for all your help
[Android Apps and Games] jonc:
I think I'm right in saying that the 'Backlight on Keys' issue is specific to the Nexus S (which was mentioned a little while back), there's nothing that can be done about that for now.

SMS Popups are working for me now (presuming there are no outstanding NoLED notifications, SMS pops up, screen turns off, then NoLED SMS notification kicks in when I set the appropriate delay). I'm almost having the inverse issue now, if I dismiss the popup/mark the SMS as read, I still get the NoLED notification :-)

I've not tried it with widget locker.
[Android Apps and Games] FL00DY:
The Facebook icon showed up just now for .10b :p

Love it. Question, I was chatting to someone at the same time I got a notification, so does it occur for both chat and notification events?

Because the FB icon looks more like an actual picture and not just a bunch of LED's does this use more battery then regular LED icons? I might swap the SMS icon for the Handcent one. Took some time for the Facebook icon to show up during the test page? Maybe I had it wrong ... just unticked SMS/MMS but ticked Handcent and the new icon didn't show up, I disabled and enabled the widget still nothing. Waiting for a reboot.

Great work again :)
[Android Apps and Games] FL00DY:
OK well after a reboot now the Facebook icon doesn't show up in the Test screen and neither does the Handcent icon. No Biggie really if it works for the actual event.
